Ex-All Black Fergie McCormick's passing robs rugby of a 'committed character'

Made it into the Mitre 10 Cup thread for some reason: @bovidae said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc: Another AB dies. RIP Fergie.

Was on a flight between SFO and LAX today. Reading the New York Times and the leading obituary was Keith Murdoch. Not a bad read and was written by Huw Richards who, presumably, was the Welshman Buck KO’d in 1987. When he woke up he was sent off.

@salacious-crumb said in RIP 2018: Winnie Mandela, Dead. Excuse me if I shed no tears. R.I.P. Stompie. I can’t find the crowd funding page for the disco ball above the dance floor that will no doubt be built above her grave . When Winnie divorced Nelson she said she wanted half of what he had..... So he threw her in jail for 13 years.

R.I.P. R. Lee Ermey. Without a doubt one of the greatest character roles in the history of movies. He came down to NZ to reprise it in PJ’s “Frighteners.”

What a legend - in an absolutely mad sport. When I hitched around Scandinavia in the early 80's a mention of Mauger almost guaranteed a free feed. We really were a force in Speedway in those days. Remember seeing him race at the Springs. Knew he'd been ill didn't realise how bad he was.

@number-10 said in RIP 2018: Harry Anderson of Night Court. Wow. I can honestly say I haven't heard a peep from anyone in that show until now. Funny how some actors fade into complete obscurity.
